I wanna cry with this song, really beautifuL wanna cry with this song, really beautiful, George Martin made unos arrangements that come to sadden the heart complement the song making
Tunz909 and shittowel After Yesterday McCartney was paniced when Lennon composed great melodies! We all know what Lennon thought about McCartney´s behaviour about Across the Universe and Strawberry Fields. It all ended with the split.
I am always sceptical to McCartney´s statements, they are always clever PR for himself. I suspect that McCartney was afraid that "Grow Old With Me" was too good, too good Melody
The Beatles themselves were like other men, but the music and lyrics channeled through them contained magic and messages from beyond the mind. If you love The Beatles and their music, go to TruthContest(dot)com, open "The Present," and read through the section about The Beatles.
beautiful<3 this song always makes me cry :'| It's so sad he didn't grew old D: gosh I miss John Lennon!!! (even though I never lived when he was alive... I miss him!!!)
not many people know this... and it sounds crazy but it isnt, john knew he was going to die and be shot by someone, dont believe me? this was his last song so look up the lyrics and message is in there he is basically saying goodbye to his wife. R.I.P John !!!
My mother and father had this song sang at their wedding. It was a beautiful song they told me. I guess before my father proposed to her my mom, John lennon was shot. My dad basically grew up loving the beatles along with my mom. My dad thinks this song was almost like a gift from john to him before he died. I thought that was a true love story.<3 Thank you john for having my parents be with eachother because of you, this song is their song togather.. forever<3(:
capyxx04. Mary Villagrana debes felicitarte por sentir como Lennon. Creo que decir quiero envejecer contigo además de un compromiso es un deseo de amor inmenso. Es quiero pasar el resto de mi vida contigo. Es un mensaje para las nuevas generaciones que ven a la pareja como un ser desechable. Ese sentimiento se está perdiendo, hay mucho egoismo. El consumismo convierte al hombre en un ser egoista, tan materialista que va a acabar con todo.
I can understand why the others didn't want to work on this song. Lets be honest It's not one of Lennons best is it? Free as a bird and Real love have a much more timeless quality. People have a habit of sentimentalizing every one of Johns unfinished demos and songs, the fact is this is no where near Beatles standard
@simonpenum Pas d'accord du tout ! Une très belle chanson, simplement elle demande beaucoup de délicatesse et de simplicité dans l'interprétation, ce que les "Threetles" et Jeff Lynne étaient peu capables d'apporter dans les 90's. Idem, la version George Martin est un contresens. Et le pont est magnifique.
He got the idea for this song from watching a Twilight zone episode which was abou 2 old people who get young bodies, then he learned the inspiration for that episode was from a Robert Browning poem so he looked it up and wrote the song from that. Pretty ridiculous being that he was only 39, but in the end it proved prophetic as he died.
VIVA JOHN LENNON.Para mí el mejor, sólo hay que escuchar sus canciones, tienen algo, tienen algo, cuenta algo real, es como si estuviera con nosotros.
@VaporWolf980 I couldn't agree with you more. R.I.P, dear man. You are loved and NEVER forgotten. I cry everytime I listen and watch this video. You can see the love they felt for each other.
I thought I read somewhere the reason the Threetles didn't work on this song during Beatles Anthology was due to the fact that this Lennon take had already been released officially on the Lennon solo album Milk and Honey in 1984. The other tracks given to them by Yoko didn't quite fall into this category. Real Love had been released for the Imagine movie...but it was an acoustic guitar demo with very different lyrics to the Beatles release. FAAB and Now and Then were only on the bootleg circuit.
This George Martin arrangement changes one of the chords from John's demo - an A4 to a C2 chord (on the word "be"). The change is basically made by having the bass play a C. The Mary Chaplin Carpenter version uses a B minor.
I love this song just because my second child thinks shes in the midle and she is not inportnant she is very wrong I love her so much you know that my beutifull MICHELLE where ever you are
@hmontfort its on the john lennon anthology boxset but that might cos u abit,but its also on the 2cd greatest hits album Working Class Hero: The Definitive Lennon
Well he still dissed the tune then...oh well he's entitled to an opinion...George Martin liked it enough to score strings around it, and I love it as well......and so do many other folks.....we all have our likes and dislikes and that's all cool.
Paul responded "yea we really didn't like that one"...don't believe it for one second......it's a beautiful tune, and Paul knows it!,,,the only awkward part in the tune I would say IMHO is the bridge, which could have been cleaned up by Paul....of course Martin's string arrangement here is right on track:-).........."Now and Then" is a very weak tune IMHO, NOT this one!!
@Tunz909 heres what he said about it ,,(paul said In a New York Times interview, Paul claimed that the group didn't even begin to record the fourth song given to them by Yoko, Grow Old With Me because "John's original demo required too much work" Unfortunately only one Grow Old With Me demo was available; the rest were stolen from Lennon's apartment soon after his death. Interviewed in 1995, McCartney apparently dismissed the song by saying "We're not that keen on that one. i"ll post the link
@shittowel paul had this to say about now and then So we did the two that were the two favorites, free as a bird and real love And the idea arose that there was a third track, another song called Now And Then. I don't know, it didn't really have a title [sings: "you know/it's true; it's up to you..."]. That beginning bit's great and then it just goes a bit crummy. We all decided that it's not one of John's greatest songs. I like the beginning, but we'd have to do a hatchet job on it.
@Tunz909 so i was a bit mistaken paul didn"t say "yea we really didn"t like that one" but istead he said We're not that keen on that one,i knew he said something like that ,maybe it was just to sad for them to do
@metalslut1 i don"t think they attempted it ,it says they did on wiki pedia,, but else where ive read interviews from the 3 remaining beatles during the anthology and in those interviews paul is asked about this track,(he"s asked there was another song u were given called grow old with me but u didn"t finish it why? paul responded yeah we didn"t really like that one, so i don"t think they did attempt work on it ,although they did attempt to work on now and then but gave up cos of a buzz on tape
This song used to give me alot of hope and peace, still do but now it allso gets me a little depressed, seeing as I might have what John and Yoko had, sure I'm still young(going on 20) so maybe I'll have a chance in the long run but with all that's going in on these days, who knows..
It's a very touching song. Even more so because of the tragic circumstances surrounding John's premature death. But I just wish John had a stronger voice on some of his later solo works. It's like he's afraid to hit the notes just right so sounds a little 'off.', which is something he didn't sound like in the Beatles.
you know, i think john lennon knew he was going to die soon, and i think he accepted death because, he never feared it, he saw it as getting out of one car and getting into another, if here is a heavon, lennon im sure your there partying with god.
Its so sad that the last song he worked on was called grow old with me poor poor john lennon he clearly didnt want to go anytime soon and the man that killed him should burn fofr what he did. R.I.P. John Lennon 1940-1980 you are greatly missed
It's like John is still alive..for some reason it feels like that when I listen to the Beatles and his solo material..also when I see his pics from back when he was young..
I was born in the 90's, but I love the 60's..lol
John Lennon will always be the best singer/songwriter of all time.
Mary Villagrana: amo esta canción porque denota a un sujeto capaz de amar y proyectar ese amor a futuro, como dueño de su destino. Amo eso.
This song -grow old withe me- reflects no only Lennon´s capacity of loving but a capacity to proyect that love to the future, as his destiny owner, the one on control of it. I love that.

@cenasgay9111 I disagree completely with you. Many of Paul's songs after 1980 are great. In fact, he had a lot of deserving hits after 1980. Sure, they might not be as popular has his earlier works, but they were very good songs in their own right.
@Serenamcflyfan you may like Paul´s songs, and you´re in your right. But we, who love Lennon, have the right to say that Lennon was unique and wrote from the deepest of his soul and gave us many lovely songs. He was a wonderful human bean withe virtues and defects, like all of us, but he made his part in the world and fought for peace and love in earth. Let´s continue his vision. I love you all. Mary Villagrana
@capyxx04 I never said that i didn't like John Lennon. I think he was amazing how he fought for peace and love around the world there should be more people like him in this world. I listen to John lennon all the time i'm hooked on his music. I cant remember what i was dissagreing with now but i see a lot of horrible comments about Paul on youtube and i was just saying i dont aggree with all this comparing and aggression about them two. They are both amazing in my eyes but in different ways.

One of the greatest songs of all time. A truly wonderful song which brings back many memories of peaceful times. John Lennon is always going to be the greatest musician of all in my book.
This song was one of his last, as I recall. A perfect song to play to your special loved ones.
I remember hearing the Mary Chapin version on the radio in '96. The disc-jockey said afterwards, "It's hard to believe that someone married to Yoko Ono wrote that song."
During with the Beatles, I think Yoko was one of the most hated people. But after John's death, I cannot help but feel so fricken bad for her. I am sure George was right about not doing this song but at the same time it feels like it offended her when all she wants is John's unfinish music to shine brighter! Great song! Brings tears to my eyes!
Because when the Beatles were together, and after John became very close to Yoko, he brought her into the recording studios everyday breaking his rule of not allowed having wives in the recording studio. To keep the story shorter, the other beatles feel very uncomfortable with her around. But people dont realized that they were already drifting apart. I think when after their manager died, they started to fall apart from there.
My sweet, cool, cheeky, funny, hip, dazzling, sparkling, happy, constant, faithful, caring, tolerant, loving, fabulous, intelligent, witty, crazy, fluffy, perky, saucy, sassy, fresh, impossible, adorable, comfortable, secure, ambitious, sympathetic, endearing, positive, angelic, wicked, girl, lady wife, who gave me the best 40 years of my life, loved this song. She passed away 6th June 2008; D-Day Anniversary! I love and miss you Hetty, this one's for you somewhere out there! xxx
Thanks Dear for sharing this with me... I fall in love again, and looking forward on it... "Spending our lives together, Love without end....God Bless our Love"
Thank you so much for posting this very beautiful song in the web, sooo suited for weddings..... and about John and Yoko, I have almost imagined how deeply they love one onother....
Lala, kalau kau baca ini ... Aku mencintaimu sejak pertama kali kugenggam tanganmu 20 th yang lalu, dan meskipun banyak kisah sedih diantara kita, camkanlah bahwa aku kan selalu mencintaimu. QQ
I don't listen to the radio much, but does anyone ever play this? It's just a demo, some people are saying John recorded it at home in his bathroom to get the acoustics, but it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The description is lying, Martin had nothing to do with these new tracks. His hearing was too bad, thats why Jeff Lynn produced the tracks. This is a fan made.
wat an idiot u are, all i can say is, if the description is lying then so is the book that comes with the john lennon anthology boxset and if it was fan made it would not have been included in an offical lennon boxset would it u arse!, i think u need to get your facts right b4 u start talking out your arse, jeff lynn only produced free as a bird and real love back in 94 and 95,he had nothing to do with this track
Where did you hear that George wasn't comfortable using this track? I had heard that the quality of Lennon's vocal on the tape Yoko gave them was so poor that it would have taken too much effort to bring up to spec, and that that's why they didn't use it. I'm not disagreeing, I'd just like to learn some more about what happened, because this is a fantastic song.
Despite the countless comments about his caustic tongue and rapier like wit (that could cut you to shreds), one has to believe that John had a heart of gold and the tough exterior was little more than a suit of armour.
the thought that this song has been dedicated to Paul makes me cry...it's a so cute song!!

It's like John is still alive..for some reason it feels like that when I listen to the Beatles and his solo material..also when I see his pics from back when he was young..
I was born in the 90's, but I love the 60's..lol
John Lennon will always be the best singer/songwriter of all time.
- He gave us Peace and Love -

Mary Villagrana: amo esta canción porque denota a un sujeto capaz de amar y proyectar ese amor a futuro, como dueño de su destino. Amo eso.
This song -grow old withe me- reflects no only Lennon´s capacity of loving but a capacity to proyect that love to the future, as his destiny owner, the one on control of it. I love that.

Paul got to live and he didnt make any good music after 1980, Lennon would still be making great music right now if he lived.

Gabriel9785 1 year ago
@cenasgay9111 I disagree completely with you. Many of Paul's songs after 1980 are great. In fact, he had a lot of deserving hits after 1980. Sure, they might not be as popular has his earlier works, but they were very good songs in their own right.

@Serenamcflyfan you may like Paul´s songs, and you´re in your right. But we, who love Lennon, have the right to say that Lennon was unique and wrote from the deepest of his soul and gave us many lovely songs. He was a wonderful human bean withe virtues and defects, like all of us, but he made his part in the world and fought for peace and love in earth. Let´s continue his vision. I love you all.

@capyxx04 I never said that i didn't like John Lennon. I think he was amazing how he fought for peace and love around the world there should be more people like him in this world. I listen to John lennon all the time i'm hooked on his music. I cant remember what i was dissagreing with now but i see a lot of horrible comments about Paul on youtube and i was just saying i dont aggree with all this comparing and aggression about them two. They are both amazing in my eyes but in different ways.

During with the Beatles, I think Yoko was one of the most hated people. But after John's death, I cannot help but feel so fricken bad for her. I am sure George was right about not doing this song but at the same time it feels like it offended her when all she wants is John's unfinish music to shine brighter! Great song! Brings tears to my eyes!
Trevornator 2 years ago
@Trevornator why did people hate her?
iLUVYOGiRL100 2 years ago
Because when the Beatles were together, and after John became very close to Yoko, he brought her into the recording studios everyday breaking his rule of not allowed having wives in the recording studio. To keep the story shorter, the other beatles feel very uncomfortable with her around. But people dont realized that they were already drifting apart. I think when after their manager died, they started to fall apart from there.

The description is lying, Martin had nothing to do with these new tracks. His hearing was too bad, thats why Jeff Lynn produced the tracks. This is a fan made.

wat an idiot u are, all i can say is, if the description is lying then so is the book that comes with the john lennon anthology boxset and if it was fan made it would not have been included in an offical lennon boxset would it u arse!, i think u need to get your facts right b4 u start talking out your arse, jeff lynn only produced free as a bird and real love back in 94 and 95,he had nothing to do with this track

Where did you hear that George wasn't comfortable using this track? I had heard that the quality of Lennon's vocal on the tape Yoko gave them was so poor that it would have taken too much effort to bring up to spec, and that that's why they didn't use it. I'm not disagreeing, I'd just like to learn some more about what happened, because this is a fantastic song.

The quality of "Now and Then" was too poor to work with. They gave up on it back when they were working on "Real Love" and "Free as a Bird".

Despite the countless comments about his caustic tongue and rapier like wit (that could cut you to shreds), one has to believe that John had a heart of gold and the tough exterior was little more than a suit of armour.
